Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

It runs efficiently, and heats the room very well. My only concern is with the thermostat.

Instructions are a little sketchy. Measure the case before cutting any drywall and be sure where studs are. Overall, it seem like a good product. Lot of bang for the buck.

These are far superior to the typical coiled nichrome wire found on most of these type heaters. Great replacement for my 1981 in wall electric heater.

Cons

The thermal overload switches and the circuit beaker switches break all the time. The reset button is in the worst place, difficult to reset. The heater runs for about 10 minutes before it thermal overload switch kicks in.

Awful heater. The * is also next to impossible to put on or take off. Have not turned heater on yet, but disappointed with grey knob.

I believe this was a returned and refurbished item even though i paid full price. Only the guts need to be switched out of the casing instead of trying retrofit the wall for another manufacturer. Replaced with oem part still fails on both.

Packaging/appearance

This arrived with a scratched and dented grille/faceplate.

Competitiveness
